"[The ducks] they have marked the areas in which they congregate with each other, bury their heads in a nest of their own wings and go to sleep without fearing the outside."

Thank u @RussellBennetts for running such a great & wide reaching lit mag & bringing me on board for the last few years. It was an absolute pleasure reading through poetry from around the world and I’m very grateful to have been able to publish the work we did 💫 🙌

Justin E.H. Smith has given up alcohol. Hell yes, life is good, he says.
I'm not convinced, but this is a worthwhile read.

Just discovered @berfrois is closing. What a pity. Learned and read so much here. Including writing a bit back in the day. Thank you @RussellBennetts for building an actual place without borders.

He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy
He who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity’s sunrise

"That’s what it is, I think, to survive past midlife: your life is not done, yet it is, as we say, 'a done deal'."

"Writing is how I try to stretch this margin out into a horizon. But for a long time, I have been unable to see anything beyond the concrete jaggedness of buildings resembling fossils of trees surrendered to petrification."

In full denial that @berfrois is shutting down. My fav writing was for them—experimental, weird, place-specific essays, very me.
Here’s three, starting with:
